ED Chief Rahul Navin's Odisha visit expected to reinvigorate investigations

Bhubaneswar, Aug 26: Rahul Navin, Director of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), is set to begin a three-day visit to Odisha starting tomorrow. During his trip, Navin will visit Puri and participate in various events in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.

The visit holds particular importance given the recent political changes and past corruption issues. The top ED official’s presence is anticipated to reinvigorate the agency’s efforts in Odisha, which have seen a slowdown in the investigation of older cases and recent crackdowns.

Sources indicate that the ED has opened two new cases that could potentially impact several state leaders and officials. Although specifics about these cases have not been disclosed, there may be developments in the near future.

Navin’s itinerary also includes a meeting with senior ED officials in Bhubaneswar, where he is expected to review the progress of ongoing investigations and pending cases.
